There is no objective way to play guitar (or any instrument). Those who say otherwise are simply close-minded.

>>127716409
He can play it however he wants and I can judge it however I want and neither of us are close-minded

>I hate art in music, all this pompous art-rock like Sonic Youth and all that. You couldn’t hum one of their tunes. Sticking guitars in dustbins and you know, playing them with screwdrivers and that. I mean, fuck art – let’s rock.

Thurston Moore guitar tunings are based as fuck

Sonic youth does rock though. They have great riffs and high energy

Thurston Howell the 3rd was raped and gaped, just like Kurt Cobain, by several young black gentlemen on a sizzling summer night in 92

Have you guys ever listened to SY? Unless you're talking about their soundtracks, their albums are full of songs with melody and riffs.
>>
>>127716966
Given this chimp's track record, he's probably praised SY elsewhere.
>>
>>127714947
Taking something to its limit is the beginning of something new. Making something new out of something old is keeping it alive. The purpose of music in itself is to exist. Teleologically, he is a good guitarist. Or, at least, he was at the moment of that pic.

sonic youth sucks

Oh, so hes just retarded. That makes his treatment of nardwaur make sense now.

Only butt blues dads complain about how someone plays their guitar, or any instrument in general.
>>
>>127714947
It takes an unorthodox talent (and your own unique process that you can't just reference elsewhere) to write that many jams in multiple oddball tunings. Not even usual alt tunings, but sht they made up or got from Glenn Branca. I think him and Lee collected a shitload of guitars just for individual songs.
>>
>>127724118
To be fair, pop (the top chart meaning) is pretty hard to write. You have to please the masses and trend in the best way possible without sounding too bland, which is hard when everything has been done already.
I'd much rather make noise.
>>
>>127724157
lol

>>127716966
yeah dude, let's all play the same shit over and over again until we die, rock on!

I Dreamed I Dream is such a good song. It kind of has like a detached, nocturnal thing going on. Beautiful but cold. Hazy. Haven't really found anything like it.
>>
>>127724157
i completely agree with you, however, their discography is ironically pretty one note overall so in the end is like having a huge dick but not knowing how to use it properly, even Jim O'rourke said he played all the songs in standard tuning when he join the band proving it was all just kinda pointless
>>
>>127725134
Like I said before, the boomer butt blues mentality.
>>
Their songs sound extremely normal. You'd never really know all this supposedly experimental stuff was happening just by listening to the music.

I also never understood how people call them 'noise rock' anyway when it all just sounds like normal rock music instrumentally. Do people hear a distorted riff in a rock song and think it's some groundbreaking edgy thing?
>>
>>127725359
It's really only their first album up to Evol that's genuine noise rock. After that they switched to tamer music.
>>
>>127725359
they're noisier than the average rock band let's be honest
>>
>>127716966
Pretty rich coming from a one hit wonder.
>>
>>127725359
If you listen to a reasonable amount of guitar music you should immediately recognize that their songs sound different because the chord shapes aren't possible in regular tuning.
>>
>>127725460
As opposed to a no hit band?

you actually nailed exactly why i like their music

but seriously, if you say they don't have good melodies you've never heard this song https://youtu.be/G3JirjpaPGc

Very underwhelming collab

Noel doesn't have a creative bone in his body. His art form is theft followed by a modicum of alteration.
